Question

MOUSE_WHEEL problems (browser scrolling, mac osx support) AS3 Flash 9.0.45

Hi, I'm using Flex Builder 2 to build an AS3 SWF project. Scrolling the mouse while the flash player has focus causes the containing page in the browser to scroll up and down if scrollable. Also, the MOUSE_WHEEL event doesn't fire on Mac OSX+Firefox 2.0.4. Can get around the 2nd problem with a javascript scrolling event in the containing page that calls the SWF handler using ExternalInterface.

Whats the best solution? Thinking about using ExternalInterface along with disabling scrollwheel support in the Browser. People are just gonna have to scroll the containing page the old fashioned way! haha

Adobe Flash team probably knows about this already, but a fix someday would be very cool :D!

    yes, fix this problem please.

    I made my own custom scroll bar type component. i need scroll bar to work with it.

    scroll bar works perfect but the web browser also scrolls at the same time.
